asked the President of the Board of Trade what changes have been made recently in the production efficiency service of his Department; and what are the duties of the newly appointed Adviser on Production Efficiency.

Mr. H. Wilson

None. The duties of the Adviser on Production Efficiency are to advise industrial firms, particularly the smaller firms, at their request, on problems associated with their industrial efficiency.
